Any ideas?
Nothing you can buy for less than many thousands of dollars will capture HD from component (or for that matter dvi) outputs. You don't really "capture" HD signals in the same sense that you capture SD ones. Instead you just decode them, they are already digitized and compressed. So your only options are over the air and 1394 for now. And 1394 will slowly go away over time, if they follow their plans.
